LinkAffix
LinkAffix is a monetization API that automatically injects tracked affiliate links into AI-generated text, enabling developers to earn commission from product recommendations made by large language models (LLMs). The integration is server-side and requires only a single API call placed between the raw LLM output and the client, preserving the user experience without any client-side changes. The service uses context-aware matching to analyze query intent—category, purchase signals, budget—and selects relevant offers from a live inventory, only inserting links when appropriate. Attribution is fully server-side with first-party click IDs, avoiding reliance on cookies or JavaScript, and conversions are tracked through affiliate network webhooks. A dashboard provides campaign configuration, link management, and transparent revenue reporting with monthly payouts via a configurable attribution window. Designed for the shift toward zero-click search and AI-mediated answers, LinkAffix addresses the breakdown of traditional web-based affiliate models. It serves publishers, AI application developers, and e-commerce platforms looking to recover or build revenue streams from LLM-powered interactions. The system supports any LLM or framework via a simple HTTP POST endpoint, with no SDK currently required. Planned integrations include major affiliate networks like Amazon PA API, CJ, and Rakuten, while the current version allows manual configuration of affiliate links. A free tier is available for testing, and the service is actively developing multi-touch attribution models.

Problem solved
Traditional affiliate revenue models depend on users clicking web links, but AI-generated answers increasingly satisfy queries without clicks, rendering those models obsolete. LinkAffix solves this by embedding commission-earning links directly into LLM responses on the server side, enabling monetization of AI recommendations without requiring user redirection to publisher sites.
